Starts fine even in -4F weather. Will probably swap it this year with another OE battery as oddly i have better luck with OE batteries and they tend to be cheaper than Autozone/Orielys/Advanced.

Pros: good cold weather starting

Vehicle: Volkswagen Touareg

2017 got a new battery in 2023 before winter, didn't have a no start issue but figured it was time. Went with a dealer battery, was only $138ish for the 72ah upgrade and replaced it in their parking lot to get the core charge back.

Pros: affordable (72ah upgrade)

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Also, most car manufacturers know that customers are generally bad at doing the "correct" thing, so they protect their batteries by design.

When you are charging to 100% you are actually closer to 95-97%, when you run your car to 0% it's actually 5-7%

All because it's easier to show you another number and build the protection into the system, than to change people's habits.

Pros: batteries protected by design

Vehicle: Kia

My Kia EV6 does 10-80 in 18 minutes which is getting close, IMO. It\u2019s certainly enough for me

Pros: getting close, enough

My 2019 e Niro has done 67k miles and range has not dropped significantly. Over 300 miles suburban in summer and around 230 motorway miles with heating in the winter.

Pros: good range, roomy

Cons: not exciting, looks like potato

Vehicle: Kia

Mileage: 107826 km

I’ve had my id3 5 years now and had very few problems with the car or charging. I’ll get maybe 180 miles on the motorway but close to 240 miles cross country. Manchester to Sheffield to Nottingham and back to Manchester left me with around 50 miles range, but I can’t get from Manchester to London, or Manchester to Glasgow without charging.

Pros: few problems, good cross country range

Cons: insufficient range for long trips

Vehicle: Volkswagen

I bought a ‘24 GT with 5k miles and regret it every day. The battery had to be replaced at 9k miles and we had a loaner for a 5 weeks. Everyday issues like Carplay not working 50% of the time and the backup sensors being way too sensitive drive me insane.

Cons: battery replaced, carplay issues

Vehicle: Kia

Mileage: 5000 km

2022 ID.4 in Canada. Have had two replaced. Luckily when it happened it was in my driveway for all three times. Hooked up a charger to the 12v for a few hours and it started like nothing was wrong.

Pros: charger fixed the issue

Cons: replaced two batteries

Vehicle: Volkswagen
